Depends on how we play and the work load but my guess would be 60-70mins
Hate to say it but i personally not be suprised if we don't...
Enormous risk to rush van de Ven back for 90 minutes in a crunch game imo. Have to be extremely careful with hamstrings, especially if he's going to be doing long sprints behind the high line. If he aggravates that injury he's out for the season.
Yup me too, it’s starting to feel like a very familiar story.
Same. If it’s not done by COB Wednesday then I reckon it won’t happen and we will move to a different target. Ange was crystal clear he wants players in early and CB is our n.o1 priority so if we have Werner flying over tonight then CB needs to be concluded tomorrow with a medical on Wednesday/Thursday latest to be in squad for Utd.
It might not be the end of the season but it could be the end of VdVs season to throw him straight in complete caution to the wind because the only alternative is Hojbjerg. Ridiculously naive to think he can come straight back into a game of that intensity. It took Bentancur 2-3 sub appearances followed by 1-2 60-70 minute matches to get up to speed.
Bentancur still not upto speed
Feel like we should probably have had a much earlier deadline for getting someone in. 8 days into the window now.
Yeah good point. All the more reason not to make matters worse when Levy is being Levy. I wouldn't risk it and i'd go for Dorrington and Royal and maybe give Micky 20 minutes or so. But I think Ange would pick Hojbjerg there if Dier does leave.
All very true. But I suppose only the medical staff, the player and Ange know the answer.
If Romero and Davies were fit and playing well would we rush him back. Not for me. It shouldn't change because of Levy's failure to bring in a CB.
